In Leopard, if you make a new folder manually, its "View Options"
window will always have the "Always open in ..." box (at the top)
unchecked and the "... Defaults" button (at the bottom) inoperative.
At least that's my experience.
I have an AppleScript application that uses the 'make new folder ...'
command in various places and I've just noticed that when this command
creates a new folder, the status of its "Always open in ..." box is
inherited from the parent folder. This indicates that the status of
"Always open in ..." can be read & set internally by the 'make new
folder ...' command, but there is no way to read & set this status via
AppleScript. (It's not in the Finder's dictionary.)
Anyone know more about what's going on here?
(I'm still waiting for "Always open in ..." and "... Defaults" to be
removed from Leopard's View Options. They are useless and illogical.)
